生态学
海洋; 海洋洄游的 (Ref. 51243); 深度上下限 0 - 600 m (Ref. 168). 10°C - 25°C (Ref. 168); 60°N - 50°S, 180°W - 180°E
Cosmopolitan in tropical and temperate waters of all oceans including the Mediterranean Sea but not at the surface between 10°N and 10°S. Western Pacific: range extend in a broad band between 40°N and 40°S (Ref. 9684). Often confused with juvenile Thunnus obesus which also have very long pectorals but with rounded tips. Highly migratory species.
Length at first maturity / 大小 / 重量 / 年龄
Maturity: Lm 85.2, range 83 - ? cm
Max length : 140 cm FL 雄鱼/尚未辨别雌雄; (Ref. 3669); common length : 100.0 cm FL 雄鱼/尚未辨别雌雄; (Ref. 9684); 最大体重: 60.3 kg (Ref. 40637); 最大年龄: 9 年 (Ref. 72462)
背棘 (总数): 11 - 14; 背的软条 (总数): 12-16; 臀棘 0; 臀鳍软条: 11 - 16. Anterior spines much higher than posterior spines giving the fin a strongly concave outline. Interpelvic process small and bifid. Body with very small scales. Pectoral fins remarkably long, about 30% of fork length or longer in 50 cm or longer fish. Ventral surface of liver striated and the central lobe is largest.
前面的棘比在后部的棘高许多给鳍一强烈地凹曲轮廓。 腹鳍间的突起小而两裂的。 身体有最小鳞片。 胸鳍显着长又大约 30% 的尾叉长或更长的在 50 公分或较长的鱼中。 肝脏的腹面有条纹的与中央的叶大。
An epipelagic and mesopelagic, oceanic species, abundant in surface waters of 15.6° to 19.4°C; deeper swimming, large albacore are found in waters of 13.5° to 25.2°C; temperatures as low as 9.5°C may be tolerated for short periods (Ref. 168). Known to concentrate along thermal discontinuities (Ref. 168). Form mixed schools with skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and bluefin tuna (T. maccoyii), schools may be associated with floating objects, including sargassum weeds (Ref. 168). Feed on fishes, crustaceans and squids. Eggs and larvae are pelagic (Ref. 6769). Sexual maturity reached at 90 cm (Ref. 36731). Highly appreciated and marketed fresh, smoked, deep frozen or canned. Eaten steamed, broiled, fried and microwaved (Ref. 9987). Also Ref. 1762, 1798, 1804.
Angling: Largely caught offshore, where the waters are mild and blue. Albacore favor those areas where cooler water interfaces with warmer water. They are caught with live of dead baitfish such as mullet, sauries, squid, herring, anchovies, sardines, and other small fish. Albacore strike hard and make powerful runs (Ref. 84357).
Life cycle and mating behavior
成熟度 | 繁殖 | 产卵场 | 卵 | 孕卵数 | 仔鱼
The sex ratio in catches is about 1:1 for immature individuals, but males predominate among mature fishes, which is possibly due to both differential mortality of sexes and differential growth rate after maturity.
